Interim dean of Boston University's College of Communication NAILS "The Romney Problem"
BOSTON - Mitt Romney, who earlier this year had to backpedal on his hunting exploits, is explaining himself again after claiming an endorsement he did not receive and saying he witnessed his father in civil rights marches he could not have seen.

Romney said it was akin to him stating, "I saw my dad become president of American Motors." He told reporters in Iowa, "I wasn't there when he became president."

Romney similarly backtracked after telling a national television audience Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press" that "I received the endorsement of the NRA" in 2002 while running for governor of Massachusetts. The gun rights group did not endorse either candidate, and gave a higher issues rating to his Democratic opponent. Romney said Monday, "It was, if you will, a support phone bank, which is not an official endorsement."

Throughout his campaign, he has been dogged by allegations of flip-flopping on key issues, from abortion rights to gun control and gay rights. "It's the fine-tuning that's created the problem. It's always that one extra step that causes him the trouble," said Tobe Berkovitz, a longtime Romney observer and the interim dean of Boston University's College of Communication. "You can't just say that African-Americans were accepted into the church and I was happy, you have to say you pulled over and you cried."

3. Just like the LTS founder
He saw a vision...

Romney is a man who wants to be perfect in all aspects of his life.
I don't think we will ever know who he really is and what he beleives.
Yes, he's handsome and rich, but that smile, he always smiling. Chilling.
A Manchurian Candidate redux.
